Greetings, friends!

This time I did everything little by little :)

Now important things like labels, HP, nicknames, etc., are more clearly visible and resize with zoom.

The game has a low TTK and a very high cost of error, sometimes transports were one-shot from the fog of war, which caused player frustration. Therefore, now each transport has a personal shield.

• The shield has very little HP, but damage will not transfer to the body while the shield is present (conditionally, the shield has 50 HP, damage is 300. The 50 HP shield will absorb all 300 damage and the shield will break).
  
• The shield has high resistance, opposite to the default body resistances.
  
• The shield regenerates 5 seconds after taking damage to the body or shield (i.e., it will not regenerate at all during active combat).

Why?

• To take the first hit and give the player a couple of seconds to assess the situation (completely eliminates one-shot from the fog of war if the shield is present).
  
• TTK will increase slightly.
  
• Provides some “regen” without additional modules.

The combination of these features will increase survivability and not turn battles into “iron” shootouts.

Finally, I was able to create a minimal set of weapons for all factions, and the greens now have medium and heavy weapons.

Medium with damage ramp-up mechanics:
And heavy with area damage mechanics:
Added 2 types of ammunition for ballistic weapons. Ammunition changes not only damage but also mechanics: for example, armor-piercing ammunition has higher damage, accuracy, and speed but shorter range, while explosive ammunition starts hitting the area.

Shotgun with armor-piercing ammunition:
The same but with explosive ammunition:
The game now features its first weather phenomenon - dust whirlwinds. They now roam the map, dragging items and sometimes transports, and you can hide in them as they work like a “smoke screen.” Everyone inside can’t see anything, but those outside can’t see what’s inside :)

These are the changes :)

Greetings, friends!

As practice has shown, the game has very limited functions for car development, and as a result, the improvement process becomes uninteresting. Consequently, the player immediately tries to switch to a cooler car, forgetting about the previous one.

So, what’s new:


Each body now has three slots for installing mods, which differ from equipment:

• they do not consume energy;
  
• in addition to the buff, the module gives a significant debuff (for example: +25% to health and -25% to cargo hold);
  
• if you remove the installed module, it will break, and if you pack the car, all modules will break.

These modules allow you to trade some car stats for specialization, but they are not a straightforward buff.


Essentially, this is a skill for a specific body. The more experience the player earns, the stronger their “synchronization” becomes.

• Every 5% synchronization gives 1 point to enhance a subsystem (attack, defense, navigation, energy, chassis);
  
• Every 25% unlocks or enhances a body perk;

Subsystem points enhance all properties of the body in a specific category by 1%. You can spend only 10 points on one subsystem.

Perks enhance the body for a specific specialization. For example, if it is a light combat body, every 25% will enhance small weapons by 5%, and a truck will expand its cargo hold by 10%. Over time, it is planned to expand perks to more narrow specializations: drones, shields, mining equipment, etc.


At the base, you can rent a milling machine to make a hole in the body for new equipment 🙂

• only 1 slot can be installed;
  
• a level 1 slot gives a 15% HP debuff, a level 2 slot gives a 25% debuff;
  
• you can remove the slot only by packing the transport (which means all mods will break if there are any);

A new category of items called “Fuel” has appeared, along with a new mechanic similar to the “food” mechanic in other MMOs. The main characteristic of fuel is its resource (how far the transport can travel on it), and more advanced types of fuel provide additional buffs, such as speed, charging, etc.

Thanks to these changes, you can now configure your car more to your play style: cover weak points or enhance strong ones. Most importantly, the gap between a fully upgraded small body and a non-upgraded large one has significantly narrowed.
